And, as this wonderful tutorial is about to show you, it’s not that difficult to do yourself. If you think old bathtubs are too rare or expensive, think again! As we’ve demonstrated in the past, Craigslist is bursting with cheap resources.

The end result of this project is no less gorgeous than Ms. Golightly’s charming sofa!
